Greater Grace World Outreach Church in Baltimore, Maryland, said they are investigating allegations made by a former member that church officials were aware that he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a daughter of Youth Pastor John A. Love beginning when he was 14 and she was 16.

The former member, John Capello, who is now in his 40s, made the allegations in a complaint filed in the Baltimore City Circuit Court on April 14.
